Meningioma in Adults

Meningioma in adults is a tumor that originates in the meninges, the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord. In most cases it grows slowly and is often benign.

Common symptoms:

• Headaches that change in pattern
• Changes in vision
• Weakness in some part of the body
• Sometimes it is found incidentally on imaging studies

Which specialist treats it? The neurosurgeon evaluates this condition, supported by the radiologist for imaging studies and, depending on the patient's age, by the geriatrician.

When to seek care? With new or persistent headaches or neurological changes, it is advisable to seek an evaluation. Talking with a specialist helps clarify the findings and define the most appropriate follow-up.
